Goal Exceeded hits the target over shorter trip
Goal Exceeded appreciated the drop back to six furlongs when opening his account at the third attempt in the Tifrums Irish EBF (C&G) Maiden at Naas. Sun 15th Oct
After race at Curragh Sat, 24th May, 2025 (1st) 
I was very happy with him. His work at home was very good,. He was working with Apache Outlaw, he finishing well in front of him and he ran a cracker yesterday in the big sprint. I didn’t want to put the two of them together so that’s why I came here with him. I think he’ll turn into a nice premier handicap horse in time. He’s quite talented and he likes this surface. We’re probably looking at the likes of Derby weekend and maybe Galway. Galway might be our main target with a horse like him as they go good and fast and he’ll like it. He’s an easy enough horse to train and he just suits our system. There are a good bunch of lads from the north involved. Martin White, Breen White and Declan Sheridan from Cavan, they’ll be happy men today. He had some very good form and I just felt he was a horse that would improve with a bit of time, and I think he has. We gave him the whole winter off and it’s worked out well. Sometimes horses like time just need a little bit of time to get into the system. I don’t think we put a saddle on him for three-and-a-half months, just let him in and out and enjoy life.
